real, but fake drums... :-/

Lots of guitars to mix and I know it's crowded. Wanted to show the Electronic EZX from Toontrack, which I use quite a bit.
Mix comments on how to clean this up would be appreciated. Really trying to stay out of the way of the singing.

Honestly, replace the kick and snare with SS Trigger. I could help you there if you ask nice.

The kick and snare have no depth. This is pretty typical of the EZX stuff. I'm not sure what it is you are going for though, so hard to give an opinion for you.

Clean it up? Don't go there - it's clean. Just do the tradeoff. Turn up the vocals relative to the backing, and turn down the verb/space/delay on the vocal a touch. It'll jump out. It's a great tune. And no, none of us know a drummer who can do the stuff on this tune. I like the fills. They're good to listen to.
